Abstract
This document is the National KBA Standard for Canada – an adaptation of the Global KBA Standard that is relevant to the Canadian context and expands the scope of KBA identification in this country. The Canadian National KBA Standard is formally considered to include definitions, the criteria, and associated thresholds. It also contains sections on KBA-related procedures applied in a Canadian context, such as delineation and the Canadian KBA review process. The National KBA Standard should be used hand in hand with the Global KBA Standard and Guidelines.
